Penfield Pond is a 145-acre water in the Paradox Lake region — remote enough that access and fishing data remain thin, typical of the ponds tucked into the eastern Adirondack valleys where state land is parceled and trailheads aren't always marked on the standard maps. The name suggests old settlement or survey history, but the current character is likely defined by whatever access exists through private land or unmaintained routes. Without stocked fish or a DEC campsite drawing traffic, ponds like this stay quiet by default — worth the search if you're mapping the lesser-known waters between Schroon Lake and Lake Champlain, but expect to do your own reconnaissance.
